Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Quaker Street, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Quaker Street who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
